UFCThe Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a U.S.-based mixed martial arts organization, recognized as the largest MMA promotion in the world. The UFC is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and is owned and operated by Zuffa, LLC. This promotion is responsible for solidifying the sport's postion in the history-books.
UFC is currently undergoing a remarkable surge in popularity, along with greater mainstream media coverage. UFC programming can now be seen on FOX, FX, and FUEL TV in the United States, as well as in 35 other countries worldwide.

My question is, if Lombard comes out Friday and wins in spectacular fashion will he be next for silva?. Gsp is fighting Diaz, so Anderson as of yet has no opponent. We have seen a lot crazier thing happen involving title shots so does anyone think this could happen?.

I think he would need an incredible performance with a couple other guys getting injuries for that to happen. He really needs 2-3 solid wins with finishes to cut the line. His hype dropped fairly quickly, especially since your casual fan still has no clue who Bellator is even after seeing the commercial on Saturday.

Now if Anderson Silva decides that he's going to take a break and they are going to do an interim title then...

Belfort/Bisping vs Boetsch - Title

and then Lombard will be in the mix, but he would likely be behind Weidman/Rockhold

No way The Barbarian is behind ******* Luke Rockhold...Tim has way better wins against better comp. He is at least number 2 in line. Vitor got straight up raped in his title fight and Bisping hasn't beaten anyone of note at MW.

As for the OP I don't care if he beats the fastest KO in UFC history he doesn't deserve a shot.

I highly doubt Vitor or Okami ever get another title shot while Anderson is champ, even if Vitor prison-rapes Bisping he probably isn't gonna get one.

Vitor is in the title mix, Dana has said Vitor needs three or four wins and that was before he stepped in to fight Jones. If he beats Bisping he's likely going to get that shot. Or another possibility is Anderson is going to take a year off from the division and Vitor will be fighting for an interim title.

1. He lost to Lombard
2. He was being schooled by Okami

Luke Rockhold is the Strikeforce champion, his win over Jacare is impressive. The biggest thing is Anderson Silva is willing to fight Luke(Vitor and Bisping), Tim Boetsch isn't on Silva's level money wise.
